Thanks :3 It needs a little work, the last two stanzas stumble a little.

Lessee:

It's not just them, it's all who I meet,
Whether my friendships be long term or fleet.
I try my utmost to take good will to heart,
Of the good I do, this is a great part.

At times it feels strange, I've come oh so far,
And while I still hurt, and still carry scars,
For the most part, I'm happy, and in a good place.
I'm thankful for all the love that I taste.

How dat?

Thank you <3 <3

(bows) My pleasure! Always happy to help a fellow wordsmith when I can.

One of your more immediate and effective pieces.
:)

Thank you, Wotan.

Man...you know, whenever I get a comment from you, It means so much to me. I admire your poetry a lot.

Also, I edited the last two stanzas.

It's not just them, it's everyone, every person I meet,
Whether the friendships are long term or very fleet.
I try my best to take the good will to heart,
Of all the good things I do, It's very much part.

Now and then, it feels strange. I've come oh so far.
While I still at times hurt, and carry some scars,
For the most part, I'm happy, and in a good place.
I'm thankful for all of the love that I taste.

You keep producing work that just speaks volumes. How you convey so much emotion and feeling in so few words just... just inspiring. I have to agree with Wotan completely!

Delightful.
For a little bit I thought of doing an audio version of this poem but I don't think I have enough experience to do it justice.

omg

I'd be honored. Actually, my partner considered hiring you at some point to narrate an audio version of his book, he loves the way you read. I would love to hear you read this, are you kidding me? omg<3

You such a friendly roo. Your writing seems to always make me smile.

^_^

Many an approving nod from me. Beautiful piece.

<3 thank you
